Last year, the Houston Rockets lost the first two games of their playoff
series against the Golden State Warriors. After the Rockets got home,
their city was hit by flooding. The script has changed slightly for
Thursday's Game 3 (9:30 PM ET, TNT) at the Toyota Center; the floods
have already arrived, leaving large sections of town underwater.
Oddsmakers have Golden State as a 5.5 point favorite and the total is at
215.5.

This also isn't the same Houston team that earned the No. 2 seed in the
Western Conference last year. The Rockets (41-41 SU, 37-45 ATS) barely
squeaked into the playoffs, plagued by dissension, injuries and a
depleted bench after the failed trade for point guard Ty Lawson. Houston
didn't have much of a prayer in either of the first two games at Oracle
Arena – but at least the Rox earned a push Monday night as 9-point road
dogs.
That's because Stephen Curry missed Game 2 for the Warriors (73-9 SU,
45-35-2 ATS) with discomfort in his ankle and foot. Curry hopes to play
in Game 3, but he was also expecting to suit up on Monday after hurting
himself in the opener. Shaun Livingston started in Curry's place and
scored 16 points on 7-of-9 shooting.
